Question

Why did the americans and the germans go to the cottage where the narrator and his mother lived

Answer 1

Answer:

In the story, Truce In The Forest, by Fritz Vincken, when the narrator was living with his mother in the forest, they were visited by the American and German soldiers on Christmas Eve.

The 3 American soldiers had lost their battalion and were wandering about in the forest when they came upon the narrator’s cottage. One of the soldiers was wounded by gunshot and the remaining 2 American soldiers were exhausted and wanted some help.

On the other hand, the German corporal and his 3 soldiers had lost their regiment and visited the narrator’s house to seek some shelter till daylight.
